Probability of Having Lung Cancer For Smokers
Problem 736
Let $C$ be the event that a randomly chosen person has lung cancer. Let $S$ be the event of a person being a smoker.
Suppose that 10% of the population has lung cancer and 20% of the population are smokers. Also, suppose that we know that 70% of all people who have lung cancer are smokers.
Then determine the probability of a person having lung cancer given that the person is a smoker.
